I’m a guy. This is nice. Sparkling . flowers and fruits. Citrus too An all seasons choice for me

This starts of as a spicy fruity pear.
The fruit is not fully developed as it lacks the sweetness of complete ripeness and underneath there is a tangy whisper of tart pineapple.
As the fruit mellows down you experience a complexity of fresh greenery and young sap filled wood . Beyond the wood is a pungent resinous note with a dash of citrus. A very interesting & unique fragrance.

This is a really interesting perfume and I’m loving the scent journey I’m taking with it. It has one of the most natural and realistic pear notes I’ve ever smelled. I would describe the overall composition as a musky-woody pear that turns into an incense-spicy birch tree. I typically don’t like stewed fruit or sweet fruit fragrances, and this is not. Instead, It’s a remarkable in that the fruit leans masculine, and it’s why I like it so much.
I think this works well in Spring and Fall, but a pass for summer as I would imagine it’s a little too much in the heat (but I’ll test it out anyway.) Good longevity with what is now my favorite Miller Harris fragrence, and I’m already regretting purchasing the smaller bottle.
Totally unique for me. 9/10

Oh dear. Could this be it? I went to a Miller Harris store today for the first time and this beauty was one of the perfumes I tried.
I think I might have found “the one”. The closest fragrance that ever came close to becoming my signature is Byredo’s Mojave Ghost (which I can’t wear due to my partner hating it), and I must say that to my nose, Poirier d’un soir is extremely close (my partner somehow likes PDS and can’t smell the resemblance, which baffles me, but hey I’m glad he can’t).
It is fruitier and fresher than MG, and more uplifting, which is definitely a plus, but the overall feel is very similar.
Poirier d’un soir is very safe imo, but really stands out somehow, while being tasteful and easy to wear. It is also beautifully blended. Went home to give myself the time of reflection, and ended up ordering a 100ml bottle, which says a lot. Amazing.
edit: After a few weeks of wearing this, I now feel confident I can call it my signature fragrance, for Autumn/Winter anyway, as it may be a bit too intense for the warmer months.

The overall impression, after a delightful pear topnote hilighted with juicy citrus, is a complex oaky cologne. The citrusy pear stays as a ghost and the heart smelled up close has dimensions of earth, moss, leaves and the hint of fruit whispering in a breeze. I guess the impression of a pear tree at night, emphasis on the tree. A warm woody vanilla finishes the scent, evoking candied citrus peels. It takes a few wearings but if you are looking for this kind of atmospheric complex simplicity it delivers both as a scent you put on and forget and as one to contemplate. Really nice. Best sprayed from at least six inches away.

An interesting multi-faceted scent, rather too complex in its sweet, smokey and woody variety for summer,, but with the addition of a dash of vanilla, quite appropriate as a cool season, daytime scent. Quite by chance I had a mini of 4160 Tuesdays “Sexiest Scent..” in one hand and Poirier in the other and they came together very nicely indeed, sweet but with a slightly bitter, sexy twist.

One of the most unusual scents I have ever come across. The opening notes are just delicious pears, recreated to smell so natural they make your mouth water. So far so good.
But this perfume is a chameleon and it’s evolving majorly, I’ve never seen a scent so faceted.
The fresh pears become boozy, like a desert of caramelized pears drenched in a spiced rum. At this point I would have liked a dollop of vanilla, but instead you get more caramel and some woody notes start to emerge.
Fast forward some time, and the scent becomes unisex. The woods are far from cedar and the fresh kinds. The woods here are more like a bon fire burning aromatic evergreens, giving it an almost sweet insense feel.
Continue with this sweet smoky scent and the scent acquires a soft suede, not really leather flavor, but something kind of animalic. There is also a musky scent here which is a dirty kind of musk,,probably contributing to the animalic feel.
At this point the pears are gone from the skin but on clothes still resist as a faint aroma amid the boozy burn caramel with woods and a sweet insense…
The silage and lasting power are impressive.
Almost choking if you spray too much.
I have a tester bottle so I cannot comment on the box and presentation, but my tester bottle looks exactly like all the other square Miller Harris bottles.
This is definitely a winter or fall perfume, warm, enveloping , sensual…. don’t make the mistake I made and purchase thinking it would be a nice summer night or spring scent… it is way too dramatic and strong to work in warm weather.

This is awesome. I tried on several fragrances in the Miller Harris shop. All of them were good, but when I got back home after a few hours, this one (and La Feuille, a masterpiece IMHO) stood out a mile.
On my (light, male) skin it’s rather linear – delicious, intriguing pear from start to finish. I know this might not sound like a recommendation, but it is.
The people at Miller Harris explained that pear is a tricky fragrance to recreate in a bottle. The pear and pear tree will in themselves not yield any usable natural fragrances, so Poirer d’un Soir has been created by combining a range of other fragrances into a cocktail that reproduces the smell of pears. So there’s tons going on in this fragrance – it’s highly complex and very interesting.
I love the initial burst of fruity freshness, and never thought it would last, but it did. Great longevity. And, unlike almost all other fresh and clean fragrances, it doesn’t degrade into pee or washing up liquid on my skin – the drydown is as spectacular as the opening. A real gem.

The fruity opening dissipates rather quickly and the scent takes a 360 turn and morphs into something totally mesmerizing and different from how it started.
Poirier d’un Soir is an oddity to Miller Harris collection for the resin/woody/incense bring out a dark and mysterious aura unusual to Lynn Harris’ known light/fresh/citrus touch, making it seem like an offering from, say, Armani’s prive line. I quite like it.
